SHAshLEek and the EU

Иисус Воскрес !!!! (Jesus has risen!!!)

Hi everyone Hope you had a wonderful Easter, we are sill waiting for our Easter. It will be on Sunday. Пасха ( Easter) is a big day in Russia, and yes, colored Easter eggs are popular as well. Along with a cake called KoOlecH. A KoOlecH is a round and about 6” high sorry I don’t have a picture to show you, but they will be arriving at the stores and outdoor markets by the millions on Friday. Anyway we know that Easter is not about eggs and cakes, it is about the ONE that redeemed man back to his creator. That Sweet son of God who left everything to come and walk on planet earth for 33 years then freely give His life for all man kind, JESUS CHRIST.

Our great sound woman is Natasha, and she is more that a great sound woman, she is sound in her relationship with God. She also is a great church bookkeeper, woman’s fellowship leader, leads worship on the Monday bible study…..among other helpful things.

What do SHAshLeEK and the EU have in common? Nothing

Today I went to visit Yuri and Valya ( SEE WEDDING PHOTO) to have our weekly bible study and they met me at the door and said we were going to the forest to have “SHAshLeEK”…. Now the snow is melted but it was raining today, But SHAshLeEK is the first thing people do when there is even any hint of spring coming. Well you may be asking What is SHAshLeEK? It is Russian BBQ . we call it sis kabob First you start a little fire in your little SHAshLeEK BBQ, it is a little box where you get the little fire going so you can lay the little swords , I don’t know how to spell Skoowoooersss so I will call them little swords that stab the delightfully marinated little chucks of chicken or beef, Yuri choose both today and with help with onions and a few secret herbs past down from 10 generations,( Russia is old) we had some delicious SHAshLeEK…. Valya made a very tasty garlic sauce, UMMM. It was a good break from the usual food all of us guys eat each night. Which usally is PeLMeiNy which is a little glob of dough stuffed with what ever meat you can find. I like to dump a glob of sour cream on them with a bunch of caned sardines, with curry and garlic. If you would like the recipe let me know. Well it is back to the real world, tomorrow I will be preparing for our Wednesday night Bible study on the Book of Daniel, Chapter 7 where it is getting very interesting with the European Union (CHECK OUT PHOTO) and all that. What is so interesting about the Strasbourg meeting place for the EU in France it was designed after a famous painting of the Tower of Babel, and the bold statement that has been made," that we are going to complete the work that stopped at the tower of Babel HUMMMM? God Bless you all, dean
